The Problem

Help people beat poverty and become more self-sufficient and educated with trade skills and financial responsibility. The elderly have trouble getting their trash out and taken by WM; they have problems paying their utilities and we try to help them when we can. The police have offered to train the kids in self defense for us and it keeps them off the streets and working with Srg. Robert Koski to build values and self respect.

Plan of Action

I have volunteers through the city who need to complete community service and I have them help the elderly clean their yards and get their trash out to be picked up. I am going to get new mats and equipment for the kids so Srg Ksoki with the fountain police department can work with the kids. I want to get one or two computers so we can train the elderly and youth on understanding and becoming computer literate. I am going to use the rest to develop community programs to help get them involved in making a difference.
